Will Dark Phoenix be the female Hulk? Jinxed in a way that the character can’t carry a stand-alone movie? I’ll probably watch when it’s free on streaming. I watch even very bad franchise movies due to OCD but I get mad at makers for falling short of minimum viable mediocrity.

Maybe the MCU can pull it off in a decade, but it requires a lot more than a single movie because you kind of need to transition from Jean Gray to Phoenix to be a heroic thing, then let Dark Phoenix develop in its own time.

I thought the Hulk solo movie problem was a studio problem. The Ed Norton incarnation was passable, engaging and part of the Markov-MonteCarlo process to find what works. The missing ingredient of the MCU, self-deprecating comedy, was added after.
